Alfa Romeo unveiled its all-new 4C mid-engine sports car to the world a few weeks ago at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. Inspired by the larger
8C, the 4C will spearhead the automakers return to the United States after a nearly two decade absence. At the time of the reveal, Alfa withheld some
details, but now the cat's out of the bag.

According to reports, the automaker's official brochure was somehow posted to an online forum a few days ago, revealing some interesting and previously
unknown details about the model and its special "Launch" edition. The leaked brochure included the horsepower and torque curves, tire specifications and images of the TFT
cluster in all models.

The brochure also contains the car's zero to 60 mph time: 4.5 seconds. If the brochure is legit, that's means the 4C performs better than
previously expected.

Standard models will come with cloth seats, radio and halogen headlights. LED lights will be offered as options. The Launch Edition will only be offered in
Carrera White and Rosso Alfa, and will be limited to only 500 units. It will be distinguished from the stock 4C in mostly cosmetic ways— it will have
carbon fiber trim on the headlamps and mirror covers, 18-inch alloy wheels up front and 19 in the rear, and red brake calipers. Carbon fiber will also be
used on the interior for the instrument cluster cover, racing steering wheel, dashboard insert, and gear buttons. Those opting to purchase a 4C Launch
Edition will also have the privilege of taking part in an exclusive event in Italy, which includes an advanced driving session with professional-
driving instructors.

Both standard and Launch Edition models will be powered by the same four-cylinder, 1,750-cc-turbocharged engine that delivers 240 hp.

While Alfa Romeo didn't announce pricing for the U.S., it did say that the 4C will cost €60,000 in European markets.
